Take a Break
At Stanford, taking a break may mean going to the cactus garden:
Interesting. I think too much studying has gotten to somebody over in Palo Alto.
Put down that problem set. Snap out of that literary haze. It’s time to take a break....
The planters around the Quad. One of the most accessible and stunningly beautiful places to sit on campus. Recline and stare off into some foliage until a tourist interrupts to ask you if he can take a picture with a real, live Stanford student.
The benches around the Claw. It is almost impossible to sit within these four concrete parentheses and get work done. Between the baby-Gap model inches away from falling into the fountain and the unleashed doggy parading about, you will be distracted. And that’s a good thing.
The Arizona Cactus Garden. No need to get on a plane for this. If you’re willing to trek out to the Mausoleum and navigate from there, you will stumble across an unexpected garden of 500 cacti and succulents. Just remember to keep your hands to yourselves, kids.
